OpenTelemetry Traces and PostgreSQL 4 years ago
Maybe I'm missing something, but what are the major differences between Perfetto and an OpenTelemetry tracing / metrics approach? In other words, why would someone choose one tool over the other?
Naively, it seems like Perfetto was designed around tracing on-device behavior while OTel focuses more on distributed tracing. However, I'm not sure why two distinct solutions would be required for that constraint.
